HP pavillion a708 uk

I've switched on my pc and it comes up with the screen that the power may have been lost, turned off etc...do I want to turn on in safe mode, safe mode with network, as normal, last known , etc, etc to chose one and then click on it.....I've tried every single one and the pc goes through its usual whiring but then keeps going back to this page.

I've tried F10 to recover, but all I get is a blank blue screen with a cursor - nothing else.
I've powered off and on, wiggled the cables, all the usual stuff. Any ideas?

Thanks I've done all of that - still keeps coming back to the same page. Goes through the motions as if windows is about to open and then straight back to the same page.

I've taken the side off of the tower and gently hoovered out to see if it could be dust - the fan was running really fast and set up menu said that the temp of the tower was 33 degrees - too hot maybe?Thanks I've done all of that - still keeps coming back to the same page.

Question: What do you see on the screen? A black screen that is blank? A lit up screen that is blank? What Operating system do you use? Did you make any changes or replace anything on the Pavillion G7?

My computer doesn't flicker any colour before it goes blank etc. When i turn it on, the screen is blank/black and It says its on.. by the light being lit up, but nothing happens. :/ I don't understand, whats the problem?

One of the main, classic problems with HP is heat. What probably happened is the GPU (Graphics card, it handles the picture basically)solder cracked, meaning the onbard card and the board it goes on have come apart slightly and as **** you would need a new motherboard to remedy the problem.

This is a common problem for many HP DV series laptops. The problem is caused by the faulty Nvidia chip. You will need to replace the motherboard. The other option is to reflow the motherboard youself. You can check out the DIY guide on http://www.bootmylaptop.com . You can not connect the monitor via the connector port underneath the keyboard.

You could be expierencing a problem with your monitor screen. try this.... connect another monitor screen to the VGA port of your laptop. Now try booting up. Look for and push Fn + the key that turns on a secondary display. if the monitor screen comes on. you need
another laptop monitor. At least you can use your laptop with the second monitor for now.

if your network cable is plugged in it will flash green .....if it won't turn on pull the plug and wait 10 seconds or more then plug in again and see if it will start .....are the fans running and no signal to monitor?
